Wisconsin Motor Carriers Association

ATTENTION WMCA MEMBERS! 📢 The Wisconsin Motor Carriers Association has existed for almost 90 years and it wouldn't be possible without the support of hundreds of companies, both trucking and non-trucking alike. That is why we are unveiling a NEW BENEFITS PROGRAM for members based on their years with the WMCA, just as our way to thank you for your contributions and support of this Association and the trucking industry! We have created Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze membership levels and each level comes with annual perks, such as complimentary seminars, passes to the WMCA convention, Brewers tailgate party passes, and much more! Each member company is now listed on a dedicated page on the WMCA Web site, which includes a link to the new perks and benefits. All you need to do is find your level and your perks! These new benefits will be available to your company each year of membership and will increase as you "level up" in the WMCA. Our team will work with yours to ensure these benefits and perks are provided to you as requested. Thank you for your continued support of the Wisconsin Motor Carriers Association and we wish you well in the New Year!

The Wisconsin Safety Management Council, the safety division of the WMCA, is starting the New Year off right by launching a new '2025 Discount Offer' for current and new Council members! Check it out and learn more at: https://lnkd.in/gWdS4RQw Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from WMCA! 🚛🎄 There’s nothing quite like a semi-truck decked out in holiday lights to remind us that the trucking industry shines bright all year round!

May your travels be smooth, your routes be clear, and your hearts be full. Let’s light up the season with appreciation for the amazing people in the trucking industry! 🚛✨ #MerryChristmas #HappyHolidays #ThankATrucker #WMCA

December is National Impaired Driving Prevention Month. Weekends and holidays are often dangerous times on our roadways. Two of the most celebrated days of the year, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, are also among the deadliest. This December, we're joining the National Safety Council in encouraging everyone to plan ahead for a safe ride home. #safedriving #nothingwithouttrucking #NationalImpairedDrivingPreventionMonth
